LIST OK 1 DOSES. 



Note.— Decoctions, infusions, and waters have, for the 
most part, been omitted. They will be found classified at 
the end of the dose-list. Doses enclosed in [ ] are 
emetic. Doses or preparations in ( ) are out of alphabe- 
tical order, or are to be used with great caution. 

Drugs in italics, and those preceded by a f are non- 
officinal though in common use; the former are of 
Parke, Davis & Co.'s preparations. 

The last dose is the maximum given and is too large 
for general use. 

The letter / has been omitted from before the sign 
of fluid-drachm and fluid-ounce. 

Where, alphabetically, the first preparation of a drug 
throws the drug-name into the genitive form, it has been 
so written ; the other preparations following under that 
head : so also in regard to the nominative ; any change to 
the nominative or genitive, as the case may require, will 
be patent to the reader.

30 Rules for Pronounciaion. 

Rules for Pronounciation. 

I. Every Latin Medical term has as many syllables as 
it has vowels or diphthongs, e. g.: se-ca'-le, co-ni'-um, 
o'-pi-um, se-the'-ris. 

II. Vowels are long (1) if at the end of a word; (2) 
before another vowel, diphthong, single consonant* or a 
mute (p, b, f, v ; c, g, k, q, j ; t, d,) followed by I, r, or h 
in an accented penult; (3) in any accented syllable when 

followed by another vowel or diphthong. 

III. Vowels are short (1) in an accented penult, when 
before a double consonant (x, etc.), or any two single con- 
sonants, except a mute followed by 1, r, or h ; (2) in any 
other accented syllable when followed by a consonant, except 
a, e, o, before a single consonant (or a mute before 1, 
r, or h) followed by e, or i, before another vowel.

Antidotes for Poisons. 41 

Asphyxia and Apncea, from drowning: 1. Give the 
patient plenty of fresh air, fully exposing neck and chest 
to the breeze, unless inclement. 2. Turn gently on the 
face, one forearm "being under the forehead, and raise the 
body up that the water may have free discharge from the 
mouth; or, place the body, belly down, across a barrel, 
and gently roll back and forth a few times. 3. Place pa- 
tient upon the side and apply stimulants (ammonia, etc.) 
near the nostrils ; or, the cold douche, in order to excite 
respiration. 4. Gently turn patient from partially on his 
face (the arm being under the forehead) to the back ; then 
to the face again, and so on, deliberately and persevering- 
ly, and not oftener than eighteen times per minute. When 
patient is on his face, make even and steady pressure 
along the spine, removing it before turning upon the 
back ; and when there make slight pressure upon the 
chest, removing this, also, before turning upon the face . 
5. Or, the following mode of artificial respiration (Sil- 
vester's) might be employed : Having laid the patient up- 
on his back, raise the arms up by the side of his head, 
keeping them straight, and having the tongue pulled well 
forwards; then bring them down to the side, slightly 
crossing the chest with them,- making, at the same time, 
slight pressure thereon ; continue these movements de- 
liberately and carefully, and not oftener than eighteen 
times per minute. In 4, when the patient is on his side, 
and in 5, when the arms are above the head, artificial in- 
flation should be performed. 6. Or the following, which 
is recommended by the trans- Atlantic journals : Having 
placed the patient upon his back, with a firm roll of cloth- 
ing under the false ribs, so as to throw their anterior mar- 
gins well forwards, an assistant brings the tongue for- 
wards, whilst the operator, facing the patient, kneels 
astride his abdomen, and places both hands so that the 
balls of the thumbs rest upon the anterior margins of the 
false ribs, the fingers falling into the corresponding inter- 
costal spaces. The elbows of the operator, pressing firmly 



42 Tests. 

against his side, he throws himself forwards, using his 
knees as pivot, forcing the false ribs towards each other 
and upward and inward. This contracts the pulmonary 
space to the greatest possible extent. The operator then 
suddenly removes the pressure, the inrush of the air and 
the elasticity of the rib attachments force them out again, " 
causing, by the diaphragm's descent, an inspiration. Con- 
tinue this, not oftener than eighteen times per minute. 
7. Laryngotomy or tracheotomy, with or without catheteri- 
zation, or forced insufflations of air or oxygen. 8. Fric- 
tions, fomentations, sinapisms, dry and warm clothing. 
9. Electricity ; stimulants internally. 

From strangulation : rules 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. 

Note.— In artificial inflation, always press the larynx 
and trachea against the vertebral column, so as to close 
the oesophagus, and thus prevent the air entering the 
stomach. 

TESTS. 

Acidum hydrocyanicum : odor of bitter almonds ; to 
the liquid add a few drops of potassic lq., and afterwards 
a solution of ferric proLosulphate, when a brown precipi- 
tate will fall, which, on the addition of sulphuric acid, 
instantly changes to a bluish-green, and finally to a full 
blue. 

Muriaticum : add a solution of argentic nitrate to the 
fluid, which gives a white precipitate, soluble in lq. am- 
moniac, and insoluble in nitric acid ; dense white fumes 
from the vapor of lq. ammoniac. 

Nitricum: boil over filings of copper, when dense 
orange fumes will be given off; stains all albuminoid 
substances yellow ; reddens morphia and its salts. 

Oxalicum : intensely sour ; oxalate of lime formed on 
addition of lq. calcis, which is insoluble in an excess of 
the alkali, but soluble in nitric acid; readily volatilizes 
by heat, subliming in small crystals. 

Sulphuricum: soapy feel between the fingers; heat 
evolved on mixing with water ; sulphurous acid gas on 
boiling with mercury. 



Tests. 43 

Alkalies (lq. ammonia?, potassse, sodas) : not precip- 
itated on the addition of solution of potassic carbonate, 
as are the solutions of alkaline earths ; soapy between the 
fingers ; they blue reddened litmus paper. 

Antimonium; odor of burnt vegetable 'matter on 
subliming with charcoal, the powder at first blackening, 
then whitening, and finally showing the metal; to the 
solution add Tr. gallse, which gives a dense whitish-yellow 
precipitate; sulphuretted hydrogen gives a crimson or 
orange precipitate. 

Argenti nitras; piece of phosphorus precipitates 
from the solution the metal ; solution of arsenious acid 
in lq. ammonise, when added, gives a yellow precipitate ; 
all the hydro-chlorates precipitate a white powder, which 
blackens by light. 

Arsenicum: sublimed on charcoal or red-hot iron 
gives garlic odor / heated in glass-tube with charcoal it 
sublimes and condenses into metal ; sulphuretted hydro- 
gen gives yellow precipitate; ammoniated solution of argen- 
tic nitrate gives yellow precipitate ; ammoniated solution 
of cupric sulphate gives green precipitate ; boil with mu- 
riatic acid, and put in a bright piece of copper, the me- 
tallic arsenic immediately coats the bright surface; 
Marsh's test with nascent hydrogen. 

Barium chloridum : drop in the suspected fluid a few 
drops of sulphuric acid, when a white precipitate falls, 
insoluble in nitric acid ; mixed with a solution of argentic 
nitrate, a curdy white precipitate forms that is insoluble in 
nitric acid, but soluble in lq. ammonise ; if in a colored 
menstruum, this is to be bleached with chlorine, the 
chlorine being driven off by heat before the last test can 
be applied. 

Brucia: dissolved and colored blood-red by nitric 
acid, which is changed to deep violet on the farther addi- 
tion of a solution of a protochloride of tin. 

Cantharis : shining green particles of the drug when 
undissolved; water precipitates {white) the alcoholic solu- 
tion, which is afterwards soluble in an excess of water. 



44 Tests. 

Carbonic acid gas : extinguishes a candle when the 
proportion is from 12 to 15 per centum, the smoke being 
seen to float upon the stratum of the gas ; agitating lq. 
calcis or solution of subacetate of lead in this gas (when 
much above 1 per centum present) produces a white pre- 
cipitate in the liquids ; agitating a blued (by litmus) solu- " 
tion of chloride of lime in the gas, the color is discharged, 
thus differentiating from nitrogen. 

Creasotum : peculiar smoky odor ;. instantly coagu- 
lates albumen. 

Cuprum: all cupric salts, in solution, or otherwise, 
are blue and green; solutions generally have acid reac- 
tion ; lq. ammonise, added to a suspected solution, gives a 
bluish-white precipitate, soluble in an excess of the am- 
monise, giving a violet-blue solution, if copper be present ; 
potassic ferrocyanate gives a claret-red precipitate, or a 
reddish-brown color if the cuprum is present only in small 
quantities ; sulphuretted hydrogen gives a deep chocolate- 
brown precipitate ; polished steel speedily coated with 
the metal if suspended in the solution ; pour some on a 
platina plate, acidulate with nitric acid, then touch the 
platina, passing through the fluid, with a slip of zinc, 
when a deposit of copper upon the platina takes place. 

Ferrum : the soluble salts strike an inky color (and 
taste) when brought in contact with an infusion of 
' galls. 

Hydrargyri chlo. cor. ; lq. calcis, orlq. potassse gives 
an orange-yellow precipitate ; solution of potassic iodide 
gives a scarlet precipitate (Hg. I. 2 ); put the powder (if 
poison in that form) with dry potassic carbonate into 
test-tube and heat to redness, mercury will be obtained in 
globules ; place a gold coin, wrapped around with a bright 
copper wire, in the suspected fluid, the white coating up- 
on the coin assumes metallic lustre on rubbing if cor. 
sub. be present ; drop a little of the fluid upon a bright 
gold surface, touch it, through the liquid, with the point 
of a knife, when an amalgam is formed ; solution of pro- 
tochloride of tin to be added gradually, the precipitate is

to be carefully washed, when a globule of mercury will 
remain. Iodide ; apply some of the above tests for the 
mercury, and in addition heat in glass-tube, when the 
purple vapor of iodine will be driven off for the proto- 
iodide, and a yellow vapor (changing to red as it cools) for 
the biniodide. 

Iodinium: purple vapor on sublimation; added to 
starchy solutions and mucilages it strikes a purple color. 
Potassic iodide ; solution of hydrargic bichloride gives a 
scarlet precipitate; mixed with starchy solution, and 
treated with chlorine gas or nitrous acid, a blue color is 
produced. 

Morphia : nitric acid, in excess, to quite a strong so- 
lution, or powder, produces an orange-red color (make 
this test only to cold solutions) ; solution of ferric chlo- 
ride, neutralized by potash, gives an inky-blue color to a 
solution of morphia (not to be applied to a very acid or 
hot liquid) ; mix iodic acid with starch, when a purplish 
or deep purple color is produced (not to be applied to hot 
or very acid liquids). 

Nux Vomica: aqueous infusion gives a bright red 
tint on addition of nitric acid ; a green color by addition 
of ferric chloride. 

Opium : same as for morphia ; ferric chloride turns a 
deep red color to aqueous solution. 

Phosphorus : its peculiar odor and combustible prop- 
erties. 

Plumbi carbonas : powder rubbed in mortar with tr. 
guaiaci and a few drops of lq. ammonise, a green color is 
produced ; reduce to metallic state on charcoal ; if in col- 
ored solutions, decolorize by chlorine, when a solution of 
potassic sulphate will give a white precipitate ; sulphuret- 
ted hydrogen, a black precipitate; potassic chromate, a 
yellow precipitate ; dissolve in acetic acid, add potassic 
iodide, and a yelLw plumbic iodide will fall. The above 
answers, generally, for other plumbic preparations as a 
lead test. 

Potassii bromidum : starch or mucilage colored yel- 
low y take up the bromine with aether, then drop into this 



46 Tests for Urinary Deposits. 

a solution of argentic nitrate, when a whitish-yellow pre- 
cipitate, insoluble in nitric acid or lq. ammoniae, falls; 
sulphuric acid, in a colorless solution, sets bromine free, 
giving the odor and color (deep red) to the liquid. Mtras: 
deflagrates when thrown on "live coals"; gives off ni- 
trous acid fumes when hot sulphuric acid is poured upon 
it; if poison in solution, sprinkle morphia over the sur-~ 
face, then add a little sulphuric acid, if niter present the 
morphia changes to a red color from the action of freed 
nitrous acid ; add to the solution sulphuric acid and pro- 
tosulphate of iron, the nitric acid disengaged will darken 
the solution. 

Stanni chloridum: lq. potassae and potassic ferro- 
cyanide give white precipitates; hydrosulphurets yellow 
precipitates ; hydrarg. bichlo. a qray precipitate ; argent, 
chlo. a white, curdy precipitate, soluble in lq. ammoniae , 
but insoluble in acids. 

Zinci sulphas; potassic chromate precipitates the 
yellow zincic chromate. 

4®" Note.— Ho w to distinguish the alkaloids: Treat 
the powder with nitric acid which is colored red by Bru- 
cia, Delphia, Morphia, and (impure) Strychnia; if the 
reddened substance becomes of a violet color by adding 
stannic chloride it is Brucia; if it become black, it is 
Delphia ; if soluble, evolving free iodine when iodic acid 
is introduced, it is Morphia ; if not soluble and will not 
decompose iodic acid, it is Strychnia. If nitric acid 
greens the powder, it is Solania ; if insoluble in aether, 
and does not redden nitric acid, it is Emetia ; if soluble 
in aether, does not redden nitric acid, is volatilized, it is 
Atropia ; if thus affected by aether and nitric acid, but is 
not rendered volatile, it is Veratria.

acid ; obtained by filtering off the earthy, the solution 
being precipitated by a saturated solution of magnesii 
sulphas. 

13. Cystine: precipitated by acetic acid; muriatic 
dissolves (5) • urine has the odor of sweet-brier [4], 

14. Oxalate of Lime : condense by evaporation and 
use microscope [3] ; insol. in acetic acid (6) and liquor po-- 
tassse ; soluble in mineral acids ; sp. gr. high ; urine con- 
tains an abundance of epithelial cells and urea. 

15. Hippuric acid : condense by evaporation, add a 
few drops of muriatic acid, and you get the characteristic 
(microscopical) twig-like crystals ; urine light colored and 
odor of whey ; sp.gr. low. 

16. Sugar: (1); lq. potassae with heat turns urine 
deep brown ; take of urine and the following equal parts : 
1$. Potassii bitart., gr. 96 ; sodii carb., gr. 96; cupri sulph., 
gr. 32; potassse, gr. 64; aquse, f 3 2; boil and you have a 
red precipitate (cupri suboxid.) if sugar be present. (This 
detects where Trommer's fails.) 

17. Bile : urine brown ; pour a dozen drops on piece 
of porcelain, and to this add 3 drops of strong nitric acid, 
which will produce a play of colors, green and pink pre- 
dominating; or, add to the suspected urine albumen, 
coagulate with nitric acid, and the coagulum will shortly 
turn bluish-green if bile be present. 

18. Blood : microscope ; urine dingy and contains 
dark, jetty -like masses; made turbid by heat or nitric 
acid (2) and (8) ; Tr. guaiaci and ol. terebinthinae ana equal 
parts, and thoroughly emulsify, adding to this an equal 
quantity of the suspected urine, when, if blood be present, 
the sediment will strike a deep blue color ; if no blood, it 
will be a white or dirty green color. 

19. Chlorides : white precipitate by argentic nitrate 
(12), whi h is sol. in lq. am., but insol. in nitric acid. 

20. Sulphates : solution of the chloride or nitrate of 
barium or subacetate of plumbum give a precipitate in- 
soluble in dilute acids. 



Tests for Urinary Deposits. 49 

21. Fat : urine milky and opaque ; albuminous (8) ; 
fat comes to surface ; dissolved and urine made clear "by 
sether. 

22. Coloring Matters: urohsematine, obtained by 
adding 1 partpf acidum sulphuricum to 2 parts of uriDe, 
which strikes a brown color; if very dark, over-much 
coloring matter ; frequent in hepatic affections, pyrexiae, 
etc. 

II. Uroxanthine, obtained by adding 20 or 30 drops of 
urine to four or five times the quantity of acidum muriati- 
cum, or nitricum, when, after stirring, a red or faintly 
violet color is struck ; if strongly marked, an excess of 
" indican" ; found in nervous, renal and serous affections. 

III. TTroerythine, obtained by an addition of a solution 
of plumbic acetate to the urine, giving a pinkish precipi- 
tate; foimd in acute rheumatism, gout, and hepatic 
troubles. 

23. Urea, amount in specimen : place a drop on plati- 
num-foil plate, and to this add a drop of nitric acid. If 
urea in excess, crystals (uric nitrate) form at once ; no im- 
mediate formation in normal urine. 2. Having cleansed 
the plate by bringing to red heat in lamp flame, place 
double the quantity of urine upon it, concentrate it one- 
half by heat and then add a drop of nitric acid ; normal 
urine will instantly crystallize under this process; the 
slowness of crystallization in the specimen indicates, rela- 
tively, the deficiency of urea. 

24. Urjemia : a piece of glass moistened with sulphuric 
acid and held to the escaping breath of such a patient, 
gives a white deposit upon the glass. 

25. Solids in each ounce of urine : Take the Sp.Gr. with 
the urinometer; the last two figures of this will give you 
the amount of solids in each fluid-ounce. Example: 
Normal urine is 1.018 ; hence there are 18 grains of solids 
in each fluid-ounce. Normally there are from 600 to 700 
grains of solids excreted in a day. 

26. Quantity : the normal amount passed in twenty- 
four hours varies from 30 to 35 fluid-ounces.

test-paper undergoes no change by drying ; if on ammo- 
nia, test-paper changes to original red color. 

Note.— Heat only dissolves urates ; potash, all deposits 
but the phosphates, and the oxalate of lime ; muriatic 
acid, generally all but uric acid.

CALENDAR. 

Rule.— Look in the first column for- the month in which 
menstruation ceased ; add to the day of the month on which 
this occurred 6, and the corresponding date in the month op* 
posite this one will be the time for expected confinement. 

Examples: suppose menstruation ceased on the 3d 
of August ; add to this 6, thus making 9 ; hence, the 9th 
of May following will be the expected day for confine- 
ment. Suppose it ceased on the 29th of September; ad- 
ding 6, we have the 5th of October ; the date opposite will 
be the date of confinement, viz. : the 5th of July.

Pregnancy, Evidences of : Presumptive—!. Suppres- 
sion of menses. 2. Nausea and vomiting (ceasing before 
quickening). 3. Depraved appetite. 4. Salivation. 5. 
Changes in breast, nipple, etc., in color of vagina, and 
production of chloasma uterinum. 

Pi obable—1. Changes of uterus and abdomen ; (a) de- 
scent of uterus the first two months, and inclination of 
neck to left side ; (b) rising in abdomen at third month, 
with a right lateral obliquity ; (c) fourth month, fundus 
midway to umbilicus ; (d) fifth month, on level with um- 
bilicus ; (e) sixth month, two-fingers' breadth above um- 
bilicus; (J) seventh month, midway to sternum; (g) 
eighth month, nearly to sternum, with cough and palpi- 
tation ; (h) ninth month, settling of womb. 2. Changes 
in position of urethra, being drawn up with the uterus. 
3. (Edema of lower extremities. 4. Changes of neck of 
uterus, as becoming patulous, with glandular secretion. 

Positive— 1. Quickening, average time being at 4^ 
months; is to be distinguished from assumed. 2. Ballotte-

merit, though no proof against pregnancy if not elicited. 
3. Pulsations of foetal heart. 4. Bruit place ntaire (?) 5. 
Pulsation of umbilical cord (?) 

Labor, Signs of : Preliminary— -1. Neck of uterus oblit- 
erated, feeling like a "ring;" large enough to admit the 
index in multipara. 2. For two or three days an " un- 
easy" or slightly contracting uterus. 3. Sinking forwards 
of fundus, with proportionate accessibility of finger to 
os ; (b) frequent desire to urinate ; (c) discharge of vaginal 
mucus. 4. Haemorrhoids— increasing oedema of legs- 
pains in hips and loins. 5. Morbid action of mind. 

Essential.— -True intermitting labor pains, beginning at 
fundus. 2. Dilatation — longer to open to size of a half- 
dollar than to complete the process : rigors and emesis 
common. 3. Muco-sanguineous discharge. 4. Formation 
and rupture of "bag of waters." Tremblings and loss of 
consciousness frequent at completion of dilatation. 

Position and Presentation : if foetal pulsation heard 
below a line dividing the uterus mid-way horizontally, 
vertex. If above that line, breech. If below, and to the 
left, first position. If below and to the right, second posi- 
tion. If below 134 pulsations per minute, probably male ; 
if above, probably female. 

Presumptive proof of first position : 1. Heart beats 
plainest on left side (see above). 2. Motion having been 
felt most on rig ht side, as the " fourth position " rarely oc- 
curs. 3. Anterior fontanelle, having its long prong 
frontally. being up and back, as regards the vagina, and 
generally out of reach of finger. 4. Widest, and most 
dependent part of tumor in front, the slope being back- 
wards and upwards ; (if third position, the posterior part 
of tumor is lowest and widest in the vagina). 

Rigid Os : unguentum belladonnse to os ; warm water 
injections; sether or chloroform to " lulling " effect ; ipe- 
cacuanha or antimonii et potassii tartras ad nauseam. 

Pains : increase by ergota ; opium ; chloral. The two 
latter if deficiency dependent upon nervou s excitement. 
Never give ergot unless you can complete delivery at any 



54 Obstetric Department. 

moment. Assurance from attendant goes a great ways; 
electricity; frictions over abdomen; compression of 
uterus ; introduction of elastic catheter between uterus and 
ovum; warm water injections ; plugging vagina; ruptur- 
ing of membranes, if they be ready. 

During stage of expulsion, do not allow patient " to 
go to stool "; use a bed-pan. 

Allow walking only when head is in brim of pelvis, 
and not after the os is dilated and the membranes ready 
to rupture. 

Placenta Previa : haemorrhage generally begins at 
sixth month with cervix undilated and swelling of vaginal 
region of womb. In these earlier stages, rest, cooling 
drinks, and lastly the tampon are needed. At labor, 
haemorrhage during, not between the pains ; rest ; cool 
room ; cooling drinks and astringents ; ice ; opium and 
lead to allay contractions ; astringent and iced injections ; 
tampon ; rupture membranes (Simpson), and if this fails 
and os undilated and below seventh month, separate 
placenta and extract ; should os be readily dilated, turn 
and extract child, after separating a single placental coty- 
ledon. Be chary of accouchement force. Simpson says : 
"separation of placenta is safe compared with turning." 
Ergota, hypodermically, if indicated. 

Foot Extraction : being seated close to edge of bed, 
with patient's feet supported by chairs; oil back of 
hand, introduce (a part or the whole) into the vagina and 
grasp both feet (if both presenting), making traction ; 
when born, the legs (the toes generally pointing back- 
wards) are to be grasped higher up, the stronger, if not 
the entire, traction to be upon the one nearest the pubes, 
hereby assisting materially the proper rotation of the 
child for the head delivery ; guard against " a riding 
(being astraddle) of the cord " in this stage ; if delay in 
delivery of head, reintroduce the hand, insert finger into 
the child's mouth and flex the chin upon the chest, then 
use traction aided by abdominal pressure, remembering 
the head, as soon as liberated from the brim, rotates back- 






Obstetric Department. 55 

wards (face to sacrum); to prevent perinseal laceration, 
carry body gradually upwards over the pubes as it is 
"born"; the pubic hip, shoulder and portion of head is 
generally to be first liberated. 

Turning : chloroform, opium, antimony, or venesec- 
tion, as preparatory; lateral, or elbow-knee position of 
patient best; oil all but the inside of hand; choose the 
hand that will best grasp the back of the heels, which 
most generally corresponds to the opposite side of woman's 
pelvis in which the feet are ; introduce it between the ab- 
dominal surface of child and uterus, membranes (if un- 
ruptured) intervening ; one knee, the opposite to the pre- 
senting arm or shoulder, which is the upper knee, is 
grasped, and with traction and abdominal manipulation 
is brought down, the membranes generally rupturing. 
(Not necessary, generally, to bring down both knees or 
feet, and by choosing the opposite one to the presenting 
arm you get a rotation that more readily withdraws the 
arm into the uterus.) Traction can now be used to hasten 
delivery, if need be, all being the same as in ordinary 
foot or knee extraction. 

^F~ As the knee is easier reached, makes no pressure 
upon uterine wall during the rotation, it is preferable to 
grasping the foot. To discriminate from elbow, remem- 
ber the convexity of the knee points towards the face. In- 
troduce hand into vagina during pains, into uterus during 
intervals, turn during intervals only. Unnecessary to 
bring down both knees or feet, save in rare instances. 

Haemorrhage during labor: prognosis for child is 
bad, and for mother also, especially if placenta is detach- 
ed ; in this latter case deliver immediately, by incising os, 
or dilating, or both (if the case be not placenta previa) ; 
ergota, hypodermically or internally ; frictions to uterus, 
and kneading through abdomen ; cold abdominal douche 
or slapping with cold wet towels. 2. If ovum not separ- 
ated, then tampon might be applied till uterus is dilated, 
giving ergota and keeping up abdominal compression and 
frictions to keep uterus contracted; quiet necessary in 
both cases. 



56 Obstetric Department. 

Post partum ; head low, in horizontal position ; abso- 
lute quiet ; cool air ; acidulated drinks ; ergota hypo- 
dermically or per or em / grasp the uterus through the ab- 
dominal walls and compress it ; introduce the left hand 
into the uterus and then compress it against the right 
from without ; compress uterus against the sacrum, ilium 
or pubes ; compress abdominal aorta ; ice-water douche to 
abdomen; electricity, continuous current; transfusion; 
never tampon. 

Collapse, or Syncope, from haemorrhage : quiet; head 
low; stimulants guardedly, as brandy, egg-nog, milk- 
punch, strong coffee with opii tr. ; compression of arteries 
of extremities.in order to throw the blood more into the 
heart, brain and lungs. 

Puerperal Convulsions: venesection; chloroform; 
chloral ; potassic bromide ; purgatives ; veratrum viride 
(hypodermically) ; morphise sulphas ; hot pack ; hasten 
delivery ; prevent patient from injuring tongue and lips 
by inserting cork, or piece of soft wood, between the 
teeth. 

Forceps : in lower strait, to be applied to sides of the 
child's head. 1. If rotation has not occurred, rotate. 2. 
If occiput to pubes, traction to be downwards, outwards, 
upwards over pubes. 3. If face to pubes, traction down- 
wards, outwards, and finally upwards over pubes. 

In superior strait : to be applied with reference to the 
mother, i. e., to the sides of the pelvis. 1. Rotate the head 
to its nearest position. 2. Flex chin upon the breast. 3. 
Then traction, rotation and extension in conformity to 
the natural motions of the passage of a child. The fe- 
male blade should be introduced first. The introduction 
should be between pains, desisting as soon as they come on. 

Inversio Uteri : replace at once, which is then easily 
done ; if placenta slightly separated, do not detach till 
reposition is achieved ; retain hand in uterus till it has 
contracted quite firmly, to prevent recurrence; ergota, 
cold douche, and electricity to favor contraction; keep 
strict dorsal decubitus and abdomino-muscular rest for 
several days. 






Eruption of Teeth. 57 

Lacerated Perineum : avoid, so far as possible, by 

I. Having patient assume the "anatomical" position. 

II. By supporting the perinseum and so direct the head 
up over the pubes. III. By inserting finger in anus and 
drawing this and the perinseum forward. IV. Holding 
head back during a strong pain, and then, in the interval 
succeeding, gradually push the rima vulvae back over the 
head. Surgically treat by serre-Jines or introducing the 
requisite number of silver sutures to secure intimate co- 
aptation of the parts at once, unless health or accidental 
circumstances necessitate the delay. The knees of the 
patient should be bound together, and the thighs kept 
coapted during healing. 

Vagina : haemorrhage rarely severe ; pieces of ice, or 
mild styptics, generally suffice ; a tampon may be applied 
for a short time. 

Vulva : frequent, but not generally severe ; if into the 
"bulb," haemorrhage often alarming; a stream of cold 
water, or ice, or cotton dipped in ferri subsulphatis liquor, 
should be applied to the vessels ; coaptation of the thighs 
and quiet necessary. Be careful of rectal action in all 
these cases. 

Always empty bladder and rectum before any obs- 
tetric " operation." 

Dilatation of 2 inches for extraction of placenta, 2% 
inches for introduction of hand, required.

erally precede those of the upper by one or two months. 



58 Visceral Measurements. 

Visceral Measurements, etc. 
THE HEART. 

Regional Anatomy : extends transversely from one- 
half inch to right of sternum to within one-half inch of 
left nipple ; vertically from, and including, the second to 
the filth intercostal space, the auricles being on a line 
with the third costal cartilages, and extending a little 
above and below them. 

Measurements : longitudinally, 5 inches ; transverse- 
ly, from median line to the left, on third rib, 2% to 3 
inches ; on fourth rib, 3>£ to 4 inches ; on fifth rib, 3 to Z% 
inches. Extends % inch to right of dextral border of 
sternum. 

Valves : aortic, behind sternum, near left edge, and 
in line of third intercostal space ; mitral, behind left 
fourth costal cartilage near sternum ; 'pulmonary, behind 
left third costo-sternal articulation; tricuspid, behind 
center of sternum on line of fourth costo-sternal articu- 
lation. 

Area Percussional Dullness : superficial, triangular, 
apex beiow left third costo-sternal articulation, the base 
on line with sixth costal cartilage ; does not exceed 2 in. 
in any direction. Deep, (brought out by strong percus- 
sion) corresponds to cardial measurements, the central 
portion being the area of "superficial dullness." 

Area of Murmurs : aortic, whole length and (upper 
part) width sternum. Only murmur that is propagated 
into the carotids. Mitral, greatest intensity at apex beat ; 
if regurgitant, may be equally intense at sixth or seventh 
vertebra. Obstructive mitral never heard behind. Pul- 
monic, limited to small circular area about the region of 
the valves. Tricuspid, triangular, altitude extending (and 
partially including) the second to the fifth intercostal 
space, left side, though rarely heard above third rib ; the 
base corresponds to line drawn from fifth left to fourth 
right intercostal space. Point of greatest intensity, near 
xiphoid cartilage. 



EXANTHEMATICA. 59 

THE KIDNEY. 

Area op Percussional Dullness : patient should lie 
on the face ; the long diameter extends from the eleventh 
rib to the crest of the ilium, and measures 4 inches ; the 
transverse diameter measures 2 inches. 
THE LIVER. 
Area of Percussional Dullness : extends from lateral 
surface of eighth right rib obliquely upward across the 
chest to 2 inches beyond median line on level with the 
fifth intercostal space, measuring some 12 inches ; superi- 
orly it is limited by the fifth rib, inferiorly by the free 
borders of the lower ribs. At the right of the median line, 
in front, the transverse diameter of this area measures 3 
inches ; on a line with the right nipple, 4 ; on the side, 4% ; 
on the back, 4. 

THE SPLEEN. 

Have patient lie on right side, when the superior bor- 
der will be found to be limited by the ninth rib ; the in- 
ferior, by free borders of the " floating " ribs ; this gives 
the long diameter and measures between 4 and 5 inches. 
The short diameter varies from 3 to 4 inches.

pear on pressure or stretching the skin ; it is distinctly 
papular, fever remitting as soon as out. Scabs form on 
ninth day and fall off 5 or 6 days afterward. Temperature, 
104° to 106°. Danger, septicaemia, pyaemia, and secondary 
(suppurative) fever.

Medical Ethics, 

The Hippocratic Oath.— I swear by Apollo, the 
physician, and iEsculapius, and Health, and All-heal, 
and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my 
ability and judgment, I will keep this oath and this stipu- 
lation :— to reckon him who taught me this Art equally 
dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him 
and relieve his necessities if required ; to look upon his 



Medical Ethics. 67 

offspring in the light of my own brothers, and to teach 
them this art, should they wish to learn it, without fee or 
stipulation ; and that by precept, lecture, and every other 
mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art 
to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples 
bound by an oath and stipulation, according to the laws 
of medicine, but to none others. I will follow that system 
of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, 
I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from 
what is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no 
deadly medicine to any one, if asked, nor suggest any 
such counsel ; and in like manner I will not give a woman 
a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and holiness 
I will pass my life, and practice my Art I will not cut 
persons laboring under stone, but will leave this to be 
done by men who are practitioners of this work.* Into 
whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the bene- 
fit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act 
of mischief and corruption ; and, further, from the se- 
duction of females or males, of freemen or slaves. What- 
ever, in connection with my professional practice, or not 
in connection with it, I see or hear in the life of men, 
which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, 
as thinking that all this should be kept secret. While I 
continue to keep this oath un violated may it be granted 
to me to enjoy life and the practice of the Art, respected 
by all men, in all times. But should I trespass, and 
violate this oath, may the reverse be my lot ! 

* Because it was deemed unprofessional: It has been 
so held by all nations, from all time down to the present; 
for even now, in eastern countries, the laity have this 
matter in charge. It is scarcely an hundred years since 
non-professional persons had a reputation in this branch 
of surgery on the British Isles. Almost a like history be- 
longs to that of venesection. The red stripes on our barber 
poles tell us of that former time when the tonsorial artist 
was equally proficient in the use of the lancet. 



68 Medical Ethics. 

Extracts from the National Code, 

A case should never be abandoned because it is sup- 
posed to be a hopeless one. 

Consultations should be promoted in difficult cases. 

Contumelious and sarcastic remarks relative to the 
Faculty, as a body, should always be avoided. ; 

It is held unprofessional to resort to "public" adver- 
tising, hold a patent upon an instrument, or to dispense or 
prescribe a secret nostrum. 

Gratuitous services should be given to an afflicted 
brother practitioner. If compelled to temporarily sus- 
pend his practice, on account of sickness, the physician 
who has been invited to take charge of his cases should 
turn the accruing fees over to him, save in surgical or 
obstetrical cases. 

In consultations no rivalry or jealousy should be in- 
dulged. The attending physician should first question 
the patient, the consulting one afterwards putting such 
other questions as may seem fit to farther elucidate the 
case. The discussion should take place in a secluded apart- 
ment, and no opinions delivered which are not the result 
of common agreement. In discussion the attendant de- 
livers his opinion first, the others in the order that they 
have been called. Punctuality should especially mark 
the keeping of these engagements ; if one of the parties 
be delayed, the other should wait a reasonable time, and 
then, if the attendant, prescribe ; if the consulting, he 
should retire, unless the case is urgent or he be called 
from a distance, when he should either prescribe for the 
emergency or. leave a written opinion under seal. All 
theoretical discussions should be avoided. They should 
share equally the credit of success, or the blame of failure ; 
hence, no insinuations should be made so that the friends 
could make a different reward. Should diversity of 
opinion prevail, the majority should rule; should opin- 
ions, pro and con., be a tie, the attendant should decide 
the case in his favor. If two physicians cannot agree as 
to treatment, a third should be called ; if impracticable, 



Medical Ethics. 69 

the choice for farther attendance shonld be left wholly to 
the patient. The consulting physician should always 
justify, as far as may be consistent with truth, the course 
pursued by the attending, and no hint impairing confi- 
dence in him, or his reputation, should be thrown out. A 
double fee should be expected in all consultations. 

A physician should not visit or prescribe for a patient, 
who has been under the care of another for the same 
malady, unless in, 1st, a case of emergency; 2d, of consul- 
tation ; 3d, of relinquishment, by the physician, of the 
case ; 4th, or a regular notification to him that his services 
are not longer desired. When the case is assumed by an- 
other, he should indulge in no insinuations against the 
former attendant. If called because family physician is 
not at hand, he should resign the case to him on his ar- 
rival. In case several physicians are simultaneously 
called, as in accidents, the first arriving should take full 
charge of the case, unless the family attendant be present, 
when he should assume the charge ; if not present, he 
should be sent for, and the farther treatment resigned to 
his hands. 

If called to another's case, in consequence of his sick- 
ness or his absence, on his return or recovery, with the 
consent of the patient, it should be surrendered. 

If " called in," when happening by another's case, 
one should not interfere with the general treatment save 
only as the emergency demands, and request a consulta- 
tion with the former attendant, unless his own services 
are only desired. 

A wealthy practitioner should not give gratuitous ad- 
vice to the affluent. 

If called to a case of obstetrics, when the physician 
first engaged cannot be present, the fee should be retained, 
if delivery should be accomplished before his arrival ; 
but the farther treatment of the case should be resigned 
to the charge of the first called. 

Differences, oppositions, etc., should be settled by a 
Court Medical. 



70 Short Stops. 

All intercourse with another's patient, whether 
prompted by business interests or friendship, should be 
marked by circumspection and reserve ; no meddling in- 
quiries or disingenious hints should be made so that con- 
fidence in the attendant would be impaired. 

All physicians, their wives and children (when under 
paternal care), are entitled to gratuitous services. If an 
honorarium be proffered, when the donor is in affluent 
circumstances, it need not be declined. 

Some general rules should be adopted by each town 
or district relative to pecuniary acknowledgements, and 
hese should be adhered to, so far as circumstances may 
admit, in all cases. 



"SHORT STOPS." 

Adhesive Plaster : remove the plaster sticking to 
the skin by wetting with a mixture of ol. terebinthinse and 
ol. olivae, equal parts, afterwards washing off with soap. 

Alcoholism {acute) : emetic, or stomach pump ; cold 
douche to the head and breast ; warmth to feet and limbs ; 
artificial respiration (see page 41) may be demanded; as 
soon as can swallow, lq. ammonii acetatis or aq. ammoniae. 

Aislestethtcs : all should be quiet ; be sure patient's 
clothes are all thoroughly unfastened ; never give in a sit- 
ting posture; give slowly at first; should be given by 
competent persons. Pure chloroform leaves no odor after 
its evaporation. The following has been recommended 
by the " London Committee" as the most desirable form 
for administration : ~fy. Alcoholici, portio I ; Chloroformi, 
portio II ; ^Etheris, portio III. Give on flannel stretched 
over a wire frame. Watch: pulse, respiration, and coun- 
tenance. Signs of clanger : spasm ; lividity of face ; feeble 
or irregular pulse ; difficult breathing. Never give chloro- 
form to a patient with fatty degeneration of the heart, 



Short Stops. 71 

with a constant tendency to syncope, or with a debilitated 
and deranged state of brain. Cold diet for 24 hours after 
administration, to prevent sickness ; iced milk, the best. 

Antiseptics for Wounds : carbolic acid ; comp. tr. 
benzoini ; as stimulant, balsamum Peruviannm. 

Apncea: from drowning, hanging, anaesthetics, etc., 
see pages 41, 42. 

From foreign bodies in air passages: if round and 
smooth, invert the patient and strike on the back ; laryn- 
gotomy ; tracheotomy. 

Of the new-born: clean mucus out of nostrils and 
throat; catheterize the trachea, and suck up the mucus. 
" Marshall Hall's method," by placing child on abdomen, 
then bringing into lateral posture (see page 41), repeating 
slowly and deliberately. " Schultze's method," by placing 
the thumbs upon the ant. surface of thorax, the indices 
in the axillae, and the other fingers along the back, the 
face of the child being from you; rotate the child, by 
swinging upwards, so that the inferior extremities turn 
over towards you. In a moment re-rotate to the original 
position. Do not support head or legs in the forward ro- 
tation; their bending upon or towards the abdomen gives 
a forced expiration. 

Apoplexy: palliative, as horizontal position, with 
head raised, cool air, quiet, constriction of clothing re- 
moved; if stomach full, a non-depressing emetic; 2 or 3 
drops of ol. tiglii on the tongue, unless from anaemia, is 
good practice ; cold to the head in all stages. If from 
11 shock," stimulating enemata and baths. " Bleeding " is 
uncalled for save in unquestionable cases of congestion ; 
where coma is profound, showing considerable haemor- 
rhage, do not " bleed." 

Bandage, Plaster : delay hardening by the addition 
of little size or stale beer to the mixture, A ccelerate the 
hardening by the use of warm water, or salt. 

Burns: carbolic acid lotion; fy. acidi tannici 3j; 
chloroformi gtt. xx; cerati simplicis §j. M. Spread upon 
lint and cover the parts affected ; or, Jfr, liquoris calcis et 



72 Short Stops. 

olei olivee ana partes sequal.es, applying upon lint or linen ; 
poultice. 

Convulsions— epileptic: unloosen patient's clothes ; 
horizontal posture ; fresh air ; only a partial confinement 
of motions ; cold water sprinkled in face ; these will gen- 
erally be sufficient. 

2. Urxmic: hot air or vapor bath ; active hydragogue 
cathartics ; dry cupping ; hot applications to loins ; chlo- 
roform ; venesection (rarely). 

3. In children ; fresh air ; loosen clothing ; sprinkling 
cold water on face and chest ; place feet in hot water to 
which mustard has been added ; a general hot bath from 
5 to 15 minutes ; chloroform, withholding it as soon as 
spasmodic movements cease ; emetics and cathartics if 
from stomachic or intestinal irritation ; lance the gums if 
from teething; chloral and bromides internally. 

4. Hysterical: diagnose from other convulsions by 
sensibility being incomplete : pupils undilated and re- 
sponsive to light ; pulse normal ; no biting of tongue ; no 
lividity of face. Treat by loosening clothes thoroughly ; 
dash cold water on face and breast; close mouth and 
nostrils firmly for a moment so the patient cannot breathe; 
assafcetida, Valeriana or lq. am. acetatis may be given. 

Note.— in all cases of true convulsions place a cork, 
or piece of soft wood, or roll of cotton, between the teeth 
of the patient, to prevent wounding of the tongue, lips or 
cheeks. 

Emulsions : put in half as much oil as the mucilage, 
at the first pestling, adding the remaining oil and muci- 
lage as the preceding addition is thoroughly emulsified. 
%l mucilage is sufficient for 32 of the heavier oils ; whereas 
the lighter will require more mucilage and longer tritura- 
tion. To a 4 oz. mixture, it is not safe to add more than 1 
oz. of the diluted tinctures, as alcohol precipitates acacia. 

Epistaxis: keep head elevated and cool; make the 
feet and hands warm by plunging them into hot water ; 
apply ice-water over the nose ; if alarming, resort at once 
to the tampon ; insufflations rarely beneficial. 



Short Stops. 7S 

Fractures : simple into joints should be put up with 
limb at most convenient angle, as anchylosis generally 
ensues. Compound into joints require exsection, if in the 
upper extremities, amputation if in the lower; that is if 
they be important joints. Impacted should not have their 
fragments separated, hence be chary of manipulation. 
Simple, with lacerated arterial trunk, cut down and ligate 
above, not on, the seat of injury. 

4^ Always tendency of integument about a fracture 
to slough, hence see that your splints are well padded, and 
do not press upon the seat of injury. 

Hemoptysis: salt; gallic acid; plumbic acetate, or 
other astringents; inhalation of astringents from the 
atomizer ; nux vomica ; ergota ; plumb, acetate. 

Hemorrhage. 1. From teeth extraction: empty the 
sockets of all coagulum and plug with cotton, moistened 
with subsulphate of iron ; over this apply a pad of dry 
cotton cloth and close the jaws firmly. 

2. Arterial : torsion ; ligature ; lq. ferri subsulphatis ; 
actual cautery ; compression ; ice ; hot water. The last at 
98° to 100° applied continuously for 10 or 15 minutes es- 
pecially applicable for uterine, pelvic, or gonorrhoeal con - 
gestions. 

Frostbite : keep all warmth away till natural warmth 
comes back ; frictions with snow or ice- water; cold ene- 
mata of spirits or ammonia ; dry frictions. 

Insolation (sunstroke): {no hemiplegia)', absolute 
rest and quiet ; free air ; loose clothes ; cold to head, chest 
and neck, as ice, douche, and sponging ; potassic bromide 
in cold water enemata ; stimulants in frequent and feeble 
pulse ; venesection only when full pulse, livid face, ster- 
torous breathing, throbbing carotids ; same as to use of ol. 
tiglii; chloroform, if convulsio us; sinapisms. 

Lightning: recumbent posture; loosen clothing; 
stimulants, as ammonia, brandy, etc., by mouth or rectum; 
for " burns " see treatment above ; tonics and galvanism 
as " after-treatment." 



74 Short Stops. 

Ozone: Ijc. Potassii permanganatis, Sj; Acidi oxalici, 
5j, moistened with twice the amount of water (by bulk), 
will omit ozone freely enough to ozonize a large room. 
The powder should be again moistened in two hours by a 
small amount of water. 

Phlebotomy : select the cephalic or median-cephalic 
vein. 

Spectacles : use cobalt blue, and not the green-glass 
spectacles, for cases of photophobia, or where strong light 
may prove injurious to the retina. 

Syncope ; loosen clothes ; fresh air ; place patient in 
the horizontal posture with head low • sprinkle cold water 
over the face, and apply volatile substances to the nose; 
stimulants internally ; artificial respiration ; galvanizing 
pneumogastric. 

Temperature: average normal, of adults, 98.4° P. 
There is a diurnal variation of 1.5°, being highest in the 
evening. Exercise, climate, food and drink modify 
slightly, but a variation of 1.5° predicates disease. A rapid 
rise or fall is indicative of danger ; a gradual decline, of 
convalescence. 106° may be considered the general limit 
at which adult patients may recover. In a child the nor- 
mal temperature is about 1° higher than in an adult, and 
in commensurate febrile disturbance a proportionate in- 
crease of temperature is noticed. The axilla, mouth, rec- 
tum and vagina are the points usually selected for taking 
the temperature, the thermometer being retained in situ 
some 5 minutes. A rise of 1°, when above 10C°, is con- 
sidered equivalent to an increase of 10 beats of the heart. 

Tendon, contracted: when stretched, and pressure 
made over it with the point of the finger, the affected limb 
(and sometimes the whole body) will be thrown into a 
spasm if the tendon cannot be extended, at once or grad- 
ually, to its normal length, thus furnishing an indication 
for operation. If no spasm occurs, it may be inferred that 
it can be drawn gradually into place. 

Tracheotomy: {Laryngotomy cannot be performed 
on the young; it is the opening of the crico-thyroid mem- 



Weights. Measures, etc. 75 

brane. In adults it is generally preferable to T.) Make 
incision 2 inches long, in median line, through the super- 
ficial structures above the trachea, previously selecting a 
point & inch below cricoid cartilage for opening the tube; 
if arterial haemorrhage, control by ligation, or torsion be- 
fore opening the trachea ; if venous, need not mind it. 
Divide three or four tracheal rings, holding the cut edges 
asunder by tenacula, wire, silk, or catheter, till trachea- 
tube be at hand, having previously rolled the patient up- 
on the side to favor the escape of blood, mucus, etc. 

Wounds : first indication, to arrest or prevent haemor- 
rhage ; second, to remove all foreign substances, and wash 
all clots away ; third, to close the wound, by sutures, 
plaster, compresses, and bandages. In using sutures, 
bring the knot to one side of the wound. If on the face, 
remove on the second or third day. Deep sutures may 
be removed on the fourth or fifth day. If perinaeal, from 
seventh to tenth day. Silk, surgeon's or harness maker's, 
generally preferable for non-metallic. Silver, for the me- 
tallic, which are, as a rule, " left " longer than the non- 
metallic.
